    This works.

    In Eve Online there was this big war, and a big ship was being built in some station. So everyone gathered around the station to protect it, and of course the enemy came after it. A huge battle ensued and in the end the station was destroyed successfully.

    Except the ship wasn’t in that station, it was being built at another station, the defenders just mislead them by protecting a random empty station. The ship finished its construction later that month.

      I believe this technique is called a “honeypot” in cyper security. Im addition, the honeypot would also gather as much info as possible about the visitors i.e. any potential hacker.
